Teary eyes and bloody lips Make you look like Stevie Nicks We never knew that being cruel was such a cool thing to do And teary eyes and bloody lips Make you look like Stevie Nicks We never knew that being cruel was such a cool thing to do We used to laugh until we crashed our bikes The moon was nothing but a rock in the sky While all the kids in all the clubs were falling off of all the walls But now we can surrender up the city We can pretend that it's a movie We can embrace the blindness That comes with embracing the night
Said we can embrace the blindness That comes with embracing the night, three, four We thought our darlings would recognize the smell of our skin And I'm sorry for the way that that turned out You looked so beautiful then And you look so beautiful now It is the fork in the river It is the break down the middle of the mirror It is the parting of the suicide doors That we come to understand That when we float in the water It's not the absence of the other But the absence of anyone else That will drown us in the end
